It does seem many LUG members stop there lenses down several stops and if the optical improvement is only appreciated wide open or near so, why are so many drooling over the aspherical glass? I know why I use them, as I generally try to work at the widest possible aperture and highest possible shutter speeds all the time. Unless I require a great depth of field, then obvious I reverse the technique. Comment? ted Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
